Anything
Jay-Z/Beanie Sigel Lyrics

I'd risk everything
I would put everything on the line

For one kiss, everything
I would do anything for the person I love

Yes I'd do anything (Anything?)
There's nothing that I wouldn't do

Anything for you
I would do it all for you without hesitation

I'd do a bid, loose a rib, bust a cap, trusting that
I would risk going to jail or even dying for you

Run up to heaven doors, exchange my life for yours
I would willingly make the ultimate sacrifice

Leave a steak out the door, mi casa, su casa
My home is your home, always open to you

Just remember to turn the lights off in the hall
A friendly reminder to be considerate

My brother from another pop, minus one shot
We share a bond as if we were brothers, except I didn't grow up in the same household as you did

We Neno and G-Money man, we all we got
We're in this together, we have each other's backs

From the stoop to the big dudes, stoppin' us from playin' hoops
We've come a long way from being kicked off the basketball court

And us getting mad, throwing rocks off the roof
Expressing our frustration by throwing things

Straight thuggin' man, I thought we would never progress
In our youth, we didn't see a future outside of thug life

But look at us now man, we're young execs
We've come a long way and are now successful in our own right

My nigga Dame, my nigga Biggs, my nigga Tah
Close friends and business associates I hold in high regard

My nigga Ja, my nigga Gotti
More close friends and associates I hold in high regard

We embody all that's right with the world
We represent positive values and principles

No matter how pretty she is, you never liking my girl
Our friendship comes before relationships with women, no matter how attractive they are

That's how we run, when you ain't around
This is how we operate when you're not present

I'll spank ya son, keep him in line
I'll discipline your child as if he were my own

If you should die, I'll keep him like mine
I'll take care of your child as if he were my own if something happened to you

God forbid, keep this in mind, my nigga
Let's hope nothing happens but you can count on me to be there for you and your family if the worst happens

I know mama, your little baby
I understand how much you care about me, Mom

But these streets raised me crazy
Growing up in a rough neighborhood has had a lasting impact on me

Product of my environment, nothing can save me
The circumstances I grew up in have shaped who I am today

Thanks for letting me bloom for your wisdom for your womb
Thank you for nurturing and raising me with your guidance and care

For the roof over my head, for my shoes, for my bed
Thank you for providing the basic necessities of life

For the most important lesson in life was when you said
The most valuable piece of advice I received from you was

"Strive for what you believe in, set goals and you can achieve them"
Believe in yourself and your abilities, have ambition and strive for success

Thanks for the days you kept me breathing when my asthma was bad
Thank you for taking care of me during my health challenges

And my chest was weezin', thanks for the look of love
Thank you for the comfort and affection you showed me during difficult times

Just as I was leavin'
As I was growing up and becoming independent

On nights you thought that I wouldn't come back
When you worried that I wouldn't make it back home safely

That left you grieving
Your concern for me caused you distress and sadness

Thanks for holdin' down the household when times was bad
Thank you for your strength, resilience and hard work during tough times

As the man, I apologize for my dad
I'm sorry that my father wasn't there for us

When the rent was due, you would hustle like a pimp would do
You did what you had to do to make ends meet, even if it felt undignified

That wasn't the life meant for you
You deserved better than struggling to get by

You're a queen, you deserve the cream
You deserve the best things in life, Mom

Everything that gleamed, everything that shines
The finest things in life that sparkle and shine

Everything that's mine
All of the wealth and success I have, I owe in part to you

Dear nephews, I'm writing' this with no pen or a pad
I'm speaking to you from the heart

And I'm signing it, ya uncle, ya best friend, and ya dad
I'm more than just your uncle, I'm also your closest friend and father figure

Don't look back if you fall and you're feeling bad
When you face challenges, don't dwell on your failures

I'm right there from your cut to when you peelin' the scab
I'll be there for you every step of the way, from the initial hurt to the healing process

If it comes a time when you ain't feelin' your real dad
If you ever feel disconnected from your biological father

Put my face on his body don't wait for nobody
Think of me as a surrogate father, don't hesitate to seek me out

Don't follow no nigga, that's ho shit man
Don't imitate others who act negatively or without integrity

Stand on your own two, do your shit man
Be independent, do what you need to do to succeed

The world is yours
The opportunities and possibilities are endless

Some girls are nice some girls are whores
People's character and intentions can vary widely

Don't listen to your crew
Don't be swayed by your peers, trust your own judgment

Do what works for you
Find your own path and stick to it

Standing back from situations gives you the perfect view
Taking a step back and looking at things objectively helps you make better decisions

You see the snakes in the grass and you wait on their ass
Be cautious and observant of those who may be false or deceptive

Bite your tongue for no one and whatever is said
Stand up for yourself, speak your mind and don't be intimidated

Take it how they want, a closed mouth don't get fed
Express yourself and don't be afraid to ask for what you want

You know my number when it's code red if you're wrong my nigga
You can always count on me in an emergency, even if you're in the wrong

You're my nephew, fuck it we get it on my lil nigga
We're family and will always have each other's backs
